Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily read the flow of a series of documents by a simple operation, by constituting the titled device so that the contents of a display screen can be rewritten to the contents containing a line head of a line after one line of a line in which a cursor is being displayed at present, in accordance with an instruction from an input device. CONSTITUTION:When a 'next line' instruction key 14 is inputted, input information of the 'next line' instruction key 14 is transmitted from the whole controller 5, and a display controller 7 confirms a cursor position by seeing the contents of the present cursor display position register. Subsequently, the display controller 7 reads out the document contents of the (A+1)-line from a temporary memory device 3, and executes the retiring of a display head character register in order to rewrite the contents of a display screen. Also, in order to rewrite the cursor position, the cursor display position register is set to [(A+1)-th line . the first character], and the contents of the display screen are brought to a rewriting control.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to Japanese word processors (hereinafter referred to as Japanese WP).
Sentences like (referred to as) = [relating to a collection device. [Prior Art] In recent years, small and inexpensive personal Japanese WPs have become popular at a rapid pace. However, in these personal Japanese WPs, for example, 1 the display device is small, as described in the special edition OA PC "I Love Word Processors (Personal Word Processor Special Issue) Jl" published by Dempa Shimbun on January 30, 1985. , only a few characters or lines of characters can be displayed at a time. Therefore, when creating a document, it is useful to grasp the meaning of the preceding and succeeding sentences. [Problem to be solved by the invention] For this reason, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, screen control keys such as cursor keys are operated multiple times to rewrite the displayed screen contents. This method uses a method of checking the contents of a document, but it has the disadvantage of being difficult to use because it requires many keystrokes to grasp the meaning of the previous and subsequent sentences.Also, it is possible to display several lines of text. Even in a personal Japanese WP using a display device, one line of the display is, for example, 10
The number of characters is small compared to the 40 characters per line of a normal document, so even though it is possible to display several lines of characters, in reality, you are only looking at part of the document through a window, and it is not possible to display a series of characters. It is difficult to read as a continuous document, and the method of checking the contents of one document is to rewrite the displayed screen contents by operating keys such as cursor keys multiple times. It had the disadvantage of requiring a large number of operations and being difficult to use. An object of the present invention is to enable a document editing device such as a personal Japanese WP that uses a display screen with a small display capacity to easily read the flow of a series of documents with simple operations. [Means for solving the problem] The present invention provides a method for correcting or re-editing text that has already been input.
On a display screen with a small display capacity, it is not easy to check between lines, and it is especially important to check the connection between the document at the beginning of the line after the - line and the line that you are currently trying to re-edit. Focusing on the idea that the easier the operation, the easier the device is to use, the system rewrites the contents of the display screen to include the beginning of the line one line after the line where the cursor is currently displayed, based on instructions from the input device. It is equipped with possible input means and display control means. [Operation] In response to instructions from the input device, the contents of the display screen are rewritten to include the beginning of the line one line after the line on which the cursor is currently displayed, so that the contents of the line one line after the line to be re-edited are rewritten. The content is displayed, especially the part that connects the document at the beginning of the next line and the line you are currently inputting. [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document editing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is an input device for inputting characters and symbols, for example, consists of a plurality of keystroke type keyboards, and 2 is a display device for displaying input characters and symbols and created and edited documents, for example, a display of 12 horizontal characters and 2 vertical lines. It consists of a liquid crystal display element that is capable of 3 is a temporary storage device that stores created documents. 4 is a printing device that takes a hard copy of a document, 5 is an overall control device that controls each device, 6 is a character generator (referred to as CG) that stores character patterns used for display and printing, and 7 is an input device from ll.

This is a display control device that controls the screen to be rewritten with content that always includes the beginning of the line one line after the line on which the cursor is displayed. The display control device 7 has a display first character register that indicates which line and which character of the text the first character on the display screen is, and a cursor display position register which indicates which line and which character the cursor display position is. are doing.

The display control device 7 sets the cursor display position register to [(A+1) line, 1st character] in order to rewrite the cursor position. Next, the contents of the display screen are rewritten and controlled according to the contents of the display first character register and the cursor display position register.

FIG. 5(c) shows the result of inputting the "next line" key 14 in the state shown in FIG. 5(b), and a screen including the beginning of the third line is displayed, and the cursor 21 is also moved to the beginning of the third line. do. According to this embodiment, a screen that was conventionally obtained by pressing the cursor keys multiple times can now be displayed with a single touch operation, which helps to save time and reduce fatigue of the operator. Furthermore, it is possible to make effective use of a screen with a small display capacity and make it possible to easily read the meaning of the sentence before and after the first sentence. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, in a document editing device such as a personal Japanese WP using a display screen with a small display capacity,
The flow of a series of documents can be made easily readable with a simple operation.
